Oh No!... Disappointing products!

So here we go again.
I have a few products, that didn't really do it for me!
(this time luckily two of them were free samples).



Ole Henriksen Pick Me Up Face Tonic:
I have used this in the past, but probably didn't realise then, that this just isn't for my skin type.
I really have to stay away from anything, that is for normal/combination skin - It always f**** up my skin.
And this was no exemption!
My skin broke out and it got really red and irritated from just one use.
So if you have sensitive, dry or dehydrated skin stay away from this one.

Origins Modern Friction:
Origins has become quite a hyped brand this past year.
I love their Ginzing eye cream, but haven't tried that many other products from them.
I got this as a gift with purchase with the eye cream, and I'm really happy, that I hadn't brought a full size at full price!
First of all it didn't do a very good job at exfoliating my skin. I still had dry patches after using it.
Secondly is foams very heavily, which would be to big a problem, if it wasn't for the fact, that is stings like hell when it gets in you noose are around the eyes.
It is not a pleasant experience!

Antipodes Hallelujah Lime & Patchouli Cleanser:
If you read my review for this one (see it here), you will know, that I wasn't to crazy about it right from the start.
However I was determined to use it up!
But I have had to give up - it do nothing good for my skin.
I didn't know for sure, that this was the problem, but once I stopped using it, it turned out, that it was!
As I wrote in the review, I'm not sure, what skin type this would be good for.
Also the smell really doesn't do it for me either!

bareMinerals Prime Time Oil Control:
This is another product, that I really tried to work with.
But again after a long and hard battle, I gave up and have now moved on to better things.
I really wanted to use it all up, and I actually only have a small amount left, but I just couldn't!
The big issue I had with this was "the rubbing of"! 
And it wasn't only when I touched my face, it was also, when I applied my foundation, when small bits would gather.
I have tried it with a mineral foundation as well, which is did work a bit better with, but still not perfect.

Maybelline Baby Lips:
OMG, what a scam!
As you can see, I've got the Asian version, but I refuse to believe, that the formulation is different for the US ones.
They dried out my lips so bad and left then flaky, sore and irritated!
And I don't even think, they smelled that good.
I say spend a bit more and buy one of the Korres Mandarin Lip Butters (see my review here).

So these were all the bad products I have tried in the last few months.
I hope, you found it helpful, but remember every person is different, and some of the products probably just wasn't suitable for my skin type.

What product have disappointed you the most?
